I run hardy heron on my laptop. I wished to remove the graphical login so I removed gdm. Now I can boot without graphics, and run startx when I wish to start x. I like this behavior. However it takes a very long time, I believe longer than using graphical login, to start gnome. It takes 45 seconds between running startx and getting a fully logged-in desktop.
1. how can I figure out what is taking so long and fix it
2. what if I want to boot KDE instead, which I have installed but almost never use(I don't know how to make startx boot kde instead)
